I had the same problem and bought the rhino rack to put a roof rack on. Works great and relatively inexpensive.

I don't have experience with bike racks on them though. Bought a tow hitch and thule system for my mountain bikes.

I can really get away with using a Rhino Rack instead of buying and installing roof rails to put a roof rack on? I have a 2013 x3 and I would do anything not to have to spend that much time and money on installing roof rails first.
